Derailed by History shows the world the true imprint of the Anglo-Indian community on the history of India by outlining its culture, identity and sense of community through a personal retelling of the author’s own story by recounting memories that are bound to stimulate notes of nostalgia within the community and provide an interesting insight of what it means to be Anglo-Indian to those who are unaware of this uniquely mixed breed. It is an Anglo-Indian story with a personal flavour.
